Re: Screen reader extension of firefox 3
Firefox 3.02 has been comprehensively tested and is known to work well with the following screen readers: NVDA (free, open-source screen reader): Version 0.6p2 or later works very well with Firefox 3. JAWS 7.1 or later works very well with Firefox. However, please see the JAWS section later in this certificate for answers for JAWS-precise questions. Make sure you are using Firefox 3.02 or later.

Re: Window-Eyes works well with Firefox 3
Window-Eyes 6.1 or presently: Window-Eyes works well with Firefox 3, with the exemption or exclusion of the add bookmarks dialog. It also sporadically gets lost after navigation in the menus. Window-Eyes 7 addresses many issues with Firefox 3. SuperNova 10 or later: Has solid sustain or maintain for Firefox 3, but does not sustain or maintain any advanced WAI-ARIA widgets yet.

Classification Access 3 and above: Solid sustain or maintain for Firefox 3. Also the Mobile and free SaToGo versions sustain or maintain Firefox out of the box. ZoomText 9.1 or later: this is a complete screen magnification solution for Firefox users. On Linux, the free and open source Orca screen reader has very advanced Firefox sustain or maintain.

Screen reader extension of firefox 3 has a trial or demo versions are obtainable for all above screen readers which are proprietary. It should be noted that the open source screen readers do not have demo descriptions because the full descriptions are previously absolutely free to use. you can use as a trial and check which one is fine among them. If you found useful then you can use any of them.

You can use a very basic service to zoom your web page if you find it very small. Like press the shift button from your keyboard and then roll the mouse wheel. This will zoom in and out as you roll the mouse to and fro. This will zoom in the page and increase the text of the web page. You can also try magnifier of the same. It is located in the accessibility option of windows.
